Bottles
of Hope are small glass bottles decorated with polymer clay. The
idea was the brainchild of Diane
Gregoire, a cancer survivor and polymer clay artist who found
a way to use her art to cheer up the lives of cancer patients going
through the ordeal of chemotherapy.
The
Southern Connecticut Polymer Clay Guild has a page of helpful
information for anyone wishing to make and distribute Bottles of Hope.
Obtaining glass medication bottles to recycle as Bottles of Hope is
getting more difficult as non-toxic materials are increasingly frequently
delivered in plastic vials, but insulin bottles are a convenient size, and inexpensive bottles may be purchased
from E.D. Luce and American
Science and Surplus.
